Today on "Cray Bae Say"...... Well, she says the same thing she always says.....

Everyone knows - especially North Korea knows - that they would be annihilated in a war with the US and its allies. So it’s weird how they keep yapping and barking.

They would but not without flattening half of Seoul first.

It is time both the US and South Korea informed North Korea, they are willing and more than able to use overwhelming force to completely destroy North Korea, should it attack either of them. The only thing Trump ever got right, was to threaten Kim with destruction, which clearly scared him to the point he was willing to try negotiations. Staying silent amidst NK threats, doing drills and holding maneuvers does nothing to intimidate Kim. Outright threats of fiery destruction to flatten the whole country may get through his bravado and bring him again to negotiate.
Acknowledge the fact they have a few nukes, then tell him to multiply that by thousands and thats what Kim faces if he starts anything or ever launches a nuclear weapon at anyone.
Bullies only take notice if something can actually hurt them, then they get very scared very fast.

What are the expected number of casualties in a war with North Korea? Does anyone want the blood of millions on their hands? That has always been a consideration. Even when they only had conventional weapons in range of Seoul.

My goodness, we need a Seth Rogan sequel featuring the scary female member of the Kim family.

But this concept is why the west shouldn’t fear North Korea or Russia. Neither will use nukes because they are not stupid. They know that that would mean the end of North Korea and Russia, and they love their countries and own lives too much to be suicidal. It baffles me why anyone is afraid of Russia’s nukes. They would never do it. Only if Russia was facing impending doom.
Coulda been
Will say anything for a photo opportunity.

She has no idea what America would do to her and her country if attacked.
No idea.

Japan not mentioned? Seems like we have one neighbor that doesn't hate us.

They don't have the capability.
I wonder if this is for local consumption, because, yet again, they are facing food shortages. Which is a tragedy for the people of North Korea.

North Korea's Fat-Boy gets world wide publicity whenever he opens his fat mouth to threaten U.S.A. and Japan. Why? O, why give Fat-Boy what he wants so much? Let him threaten, let him fire his missiles into the Sea of Japan or across Japan into the Pacific! But, give Fat Boy his due! Mention them in a small paragraph in the back page of small newspapers.
Has anyone in authority thought of my above idea?
So, put it into action! It will work!! And, Fat Boy will begin to lose some of his 350+ kilo of his prize possession: F A T !

Oooooooh, we bad. We bad, uh-huh. Uh-huh.
The Kimmies need to shut-it-up. Don't they have CoVid to deal with?

Imagine how scary it would be to marry her!

Why don't you ask the North Koreans that question? Military drills between South Korea and US are to defend South Korea from another North Korean invasion. Not to invade North Korea.

This reminds me of how the Chinese used to behave in the Cold War era. Endless threats to the point they lost their meaning.

More lunacy.

Such a sad, loathsome little woman.

Yes, yes, yes we have been hearing the same BS WARNINGS from you for years now, like a broken record. Don't you have anything new and more scary to say?
Paul
Has anyone seen the YouTube video of two dogs going at each other while separated by a gate and as soon as the gate opens and they face the real threat of being bitten, become real friendly? This is same mentality!!!

She needs a better stylist, she looks drab and out of date

Typical dumb sabre-rattling right on cue. It won't change anything even if they have a 'woman' saying it. I mean do they think people will take N. Korea more seriously if a woman says it. They should be worrying and doing something about their brainwashed citizens starving.

I see a B52 every other week, flying over our city,they are stationed near Shreveport Louisiana

if North Korea starts a war with South Korea, again, I expect it will end, militarily, very badly for the North. On the other hand, if the failure of an invasion results in the removal of the Kim monarchy, it could end up being very good for the North, economically, politically, and in almost every other way.

Fat boy has let loose his attack dog to bark at the fence again.
Regretably were NK so stupid as to attack SK they do have the capacity to do a lot of initial damage, especially to Seoul which is easily in reach of their massed conventional artillery. While the South and USA could obliterate it, it would take time and not before a lot of damage was done and a lot of civilians murdered. The total annihilation of the Norths military and its political leadership would be of little consolation to the dead.
SK has undoubtedly made a strategic error in allowing the Capital to grow to such an extent that a major portion of the population now resides directly under NK’s guns.

Hate to break it to NK, but nobody is scared or really cares. A country with no wealth, natural resources, technology, culture…results in little interest from the rest of the world.

What is the most urgent A1 thing for Democratic People Republic of Korea must do now? Live underground nuclear test, the earthquake will made the three wramongers: Biden,Kishida,Yoon to wake up from their war fantasy !
Strangerland
Yes, they have enough nukes, and they would be forced to use them, otherwise their own nuclear deterrent would stop being a deterrent, because other countries know America would not retaliate.
So yes, the Americans will retaliate so as not to kneecap themselves.
Martimurano
She calls the flyover of the US B-52 a reckless provocation....... so how would she describe a country which fires off hundreds of missiles across the Sea of Japan and beyond (including ICBM's) every year ?? And that same country allows the vast majority of its' population to barely subsist at near-starvation levels.
It's high time the free democratic civilised countries on this planet resolved to work together and launch a massive cyber propaganda war against this ruthless and repressive dictatorship, a programme of letter-drops and cyber-info to actually allow the NK people to understand how the revolution can be fomented - we are all collectively smart enough to undertake this surely.

Threaten U.S. and South Korea...again. Most of the world does not even hear any of this nevertheless believe any of the propaganda
gkamburoff
This poor girl was seemingly destined to be #1, but has been pushed aside by the daughter of Kim. She wants to be somebody again.
Yrral
The US will only nuke if threatened,the US do not have a first strike policy foreigners,our civilian leadership determine our nuclear policy not the military
GBR48
It's political theatre. If NK hit SK territory with one of their fireworks, the US could MOAB Kim's regime to dust without using any nukes. They won't as the governments of both SK and JP need NK as an external threat, to keep order and pull votes at home.
Governments do stuff like this to manipulate society. It's a game for them. They are farming us.

The influential sister of North Korea's leader warned Tuesday that her country is ready to take "quick, overwhelming action" against the United States and South Korea
Sounds like they wasnt scare us with their Circa 1953 military technology And all their adorable medals.

Maybe if they concentrated their energies into feeding their own people rather than spending on missiles, they wouldn't be facing a famine now.

That would be extremely difficult, due to the fact that with the exception of a few very restricted access nodes, NK has no internet connection to the outside world.
High-ranking party members do own smartphones and PCs, but they already know the game, and would rather remain in the privileged class at the expense of the “lower class” citizens, than try to overthrow the very system that provides them luxury. You must also consider, that in NK poverty is considered to be a punishment for lack of dedication to the Juche cause.
As for the average to lower class citizens, they just simply do not have Internet access.

2020Hindsights, half of the population of ROK lives within artillery range of DPRK forces. Allied estimates of casualties in the first day of a resumption of the Korean War are roughly 100,000 killed per hour. There are apartment buildings with upwards of 10,000 people living there that the Norks could flatten in minutes. They have had decades to dig in tens of thousands of guns just north of the DMZ ready to lay waste to Seoul and Incheon. Sure the Allies would defeat DPRK, as long as China stayed out of the war, but the human cost would make it almost a empty victory. But then you have to understand there is no way China will not intervene.
The best the US, ROK and Japan can do is to be well armed, stoic and patient. The Kims wont rule forever.
